You can't assign private functions to procedural types.
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refse17.html says "A global
procedure or function address". The delphi 6 help is even more explicit:
"Nested procedures and functions (routines declared within other routines)
cannot be used as procedural values."
